Well, to their credit, they've also seen that IBM, Volkswagen and Ford were still allowed to do plenty of business with no repercussions whatsoever (that I know of).
No, it isn't ignorant, it's history, and pointing to other historical examples of colonialism and imperialism doesn't make modern colonialist states legitimate. Romans lived in the UK over a thousand years ago, but that wouldn't give their descendants in modern Italians the right to occupy the UK, and us native Brits would be well within our right to fight back any invading and occupying force whether the invading and occupying force likes it or not. Muslims, Jews and Christians lived in relative peace in Palestine for almost a thousand years before the British put Israel there.
"Squeezed"? I think you mean invited. Assuming you're not being disingenuous, which is unlikely given your other comments and clear hate for Palestinians, maybe you should look at the One Million Plan and the many similar movements by Israel to import tens of millions of Jews into the area since 1948, and the many atrocities like Deir Yassin that forced Palestinians out. Israel has been a long time in the making, since the time of the Irgun and Haganah at least, and none of the current situation is accidental.
Why would anyone in Palestine, including Gaza, care about helping the people who have occupied them since 1948, with the help of the Brits and funding of the US?
They don't actively civilian deaths, they just don't particularly care about them for pragmatic reasons, because killing a million people is much less plausibly denial genocide that wouldn't fulfil the former conspiracy theory and now publicly-stated gaol of Netanyahu to subsume Gaza into the rest of former Palestine. Is that not enough evidence for you? Besides that, if you truly believe Israel's version of events that at least 30,000 of those people were "militants" (the ANC and Viet Cong were also militants and terrorists), do you really believe it's possible to get a ~50% collateral damage rate when you care about innocent civilians? Also, the 60K figure has been stuck there for a long time in an ongoing genocide and famine. Once the dust settles and Israel has let the UN in, that figure will go up by a factor of at least two or three.
Yes, unfortunately this is what happens when you have people who are constantly critical of Microsoft based on what they know of the company from the 90s and 00s, it devalues genuine modern criticisms and makes all criticism meaningless.
Both of those were violently killed by the US. Death tends to be a lot worse than arrest, but I agree that I'd like to see both Trump and Biden dealt with in the same way.
Someone parroting the far-right propaganda that British-Pakistanis are culturally serial rapists also believes the hasbara that Israel is a perpetual victim that was forced to convince (i.e. terrorise, via the Irgun and Haganah) the British into giving them a land in 1948 because their holy book said they were there 3000 years ago, and that this also justifies the tens of thousands of Palestinians they've killed since then. Colour me surprised.
From the top comment by scoutee, can't verify how accurate it is:
"For context: this is Andrew Wiles. He solved a problem called Fermat's Last Theorem. Imagine it this way: You know the famous Pythagorean theorem, right? It says that in a right triangle, the square of the longest side (the hypotenuse) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. In numbers, it's like (a^2 + b^2 = c^2) for a triangle with sides a, b, and c.Fermat's Last Theorem is a bit like a twist on this. It says that if you try to use powers higher than 2 (like cubes, fourth powers, etc.), there are no whole numbers a, b, and c that can make the equation true. So, for any power higher than 2, there's no equivalent to the Pythagorean theorem. Fermat claimed he had a proof for this, but no one found it. Wiles worked on this problem for years in secret. In 1994, he finally presented a proof, and it was a big deal because the problem was unsolved for over 300 years! His solution involved deep concepts from mathematics, linking together different areas in a way no one had before. It was like solving a centuries-old puzzle that many thought might be impossible."
Whether you consider them to have a clue or not, many (if not most) people believe crypto to be anonymous, likely due to its disproportionate popularity with criminals and cybercriminals. Ransomware always points to a Bitcoin wallet, not bank details.
Monotonous tasks like showering, being on the toilet, etc. are definitely a huge part of it, I believe I've read that mundane tasks - your brain being freed to do "nothing" while your body is on autopilot doing things it's done a thousand times before - are the most common catalyst for creativity.
Muslims have been settled in the UK far longer than the likes of UKIP and the EDL would have you believe (and maybe even themselves realise), and some of the most visible were converts like Khalid Sheldrake. The most famous and I believe also earliest was Abdullah Qulliam, who also established the first mosque in Liverpool. The first purpose-built mosque was the Shah Jahan Mosque in Woking, and was a prominent enough landmark in Victorian London that it got a mention in H.G. Wells' War of the Worlds, published in 1898. For anyone interested in reading more on the subject, Quilliam's biography by Ron Geaves - Islam in Victorian Britain - is the definitive book on the subject.
I did find that after the initial failed push of my GH Action workflow I only had to try again a minute or so later and it ran as fast as normal, but for a site like GitHub to have such unreliable infrastructure doesn't bode well, and if I was paying for it I'd want some sort of explanation. I'm looking forward to them publishing some sort of explanation anyway, I'd be surprised if all these incidents are completely coincidental instead of being caused by a single root issue.
As a UK-based web app with very American users, I've noticed a few visitors coming from Ashburn, Virginia and wondered why. It seems this might be the answer, or perhaps one of the ISPs located there.
As someone who also runs a Laravel site on DO (but doesn't use Forge so can't comment on whether it handles any additional security configurations) buying a cheap DO droplet is very much handling your own infrastructure, it comes with reasonable enough defaults for most people out of the box but if you're expecting any decent amount of traffic it definitely needs to be hardened a little more. Also other administrative tasks like adding swap space if you're like me and trying to get as much performance as possible from as little spend as possible.
Thank you for this insight, I really appreciate it! I'm currently leaning towards London because I feel like I need as big a city as I can get (and the more metropolitan/open-minded outlook that tends to come from people that live in them), but what you describe definitely sounds like hell and what I want to avoid. There are a lot of unis in London, but the challenge seems to be finding the right combination of good course content and the close-knit university vibe that you would typically get on campus unis like B'bham. I don't know how many of the London unis are actually campus unis, but I have heard they're few and far between.
You appear to be right, I always assumed there was a dedicated degree for that and that it had similar names to Computing, but searching for "Computing" on UCAS does seem to suggest it's more common than I thought for true Computer Science degrees. I still think Computer Science sounds much cooler, but it doesn't seem to be the dealbreaker I thought it would be.
